hello,

some guys from #openmoko-de gave me a hint that SHR is
running on the N900. maybe this is of interest for some of you:

background: "SHR is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution
for smartphones. It currently targets Openmoko models Neo 1973
and Neo FreeRunner, but is not designed for these only. "

Hey

That's my video.

HW keyboard works - I typed "htop" on it in terminal on clip. Layout is correct, so blue chars work correctly too.

I got this system running just few days ago (as I got N900 just few days ago

) and others from SHR are now starting their work, so those images are highly experimental at the moment and sometimes need some manual tweaking in order to get something working. But we hope that will change really, really soon

There is no GSM support yet for N900, but we're going to use libisi from elektranox ( https://elektranox.org/n900/ ) and integrate it with fsogsmd. Though there are apps for calls, messaging etc. - just hardware support is missing in this case ATM.

Regards,
dos

great work.. you may want to look at the nitdroid _android for n900_ project for details on getting the 3G working, i think they used ofono.

We don't want to use ofono - we're using freesmartphone.org middleware, so ofono is competitor to us :P

Yeah, I agree, NOLO doesn't seem to be really friendly for power users... Using u-boot image as kernels' one creates problems with automatic kernel updates in Maemo. I will try to find some nice solution and document it in installation guide - I described bootmenu only because that was the one I already tested

But when we'll get our own kernel running correctly, then we'll have to find another solution.

Well, the thing is that N8x0 are not phones, and SHR is mainly phone distro

But of course it can be built for N8x0 - we need some maintainer to do that, as we don't have any of those devices. If you (or someone else) want to do that, then you're welcome! How to build SHR is explained on our site, OpenEmbedded has support for nokia800 machine, booting it shouldn't be hard.
